Auditory Brainstem Evoked Potentials:
Clinical and Research Applications provides a solid foundation of the
theoretical principles of auditory evoked potential principles
essential for understanding the neural bases of changes in the response
indices essential for both the development of optimal clinical test
strategies, and interpretation of test results. Developed for
graduate-level audiology students, this comprehensive text aims to
build a fundamental understanding of auditory evoked brainstem
responses (ABR), and their relationship to normal and impaired auditory
function, as well as its various Audiologic and Neurootologic
applications.
In addition to
covering the classical onset ABR, the book provides a thorough review
of sustained brainstem responses elicited by complex sounds, including
auditory steady state response (ASSR), envelope following response
(EFR), and frequency following response (FFR), and the growing clinical
and research applications of these responses. By exploring why certain
stimulus manipulations are required to answer specific clinical
questions, the author provide the resources needed for students and
clinicians to make reasoned decisions about the optimal protocol to use
in a given situation.
